Ben Shelley: East Division Comparison: Islanders/Penguins

I see Pittsburgh challenging the Hawks for the worst record in the league. If any of there star players get hurt a last place finish is likely

Per sources, the Islanders and RFA Mathew Barzal have agreed to terms on a 3-year deal.

Believe #Isles Mat Barzal in at three years with an AAV of $7 million. But do not have that confirmed yet.

That’s fake news. The Islanders had a plan to sign him on the first day of the season because they couldn’t sign him because of the Cap problem they didn’t have and needed JB’s LTIR to kick in first


No Idea what dumbshaT I hEard that from but he can say I was right when ever he wants.

According to Andrew Gross, Lou wanted to do a 6 year deal but Lou could not move enough money so they decided on a Bridge 3 year deal.

Good deal for the Islanders and Barzal. Great that he’s at camp and now JGP can center wingers he will play with.
Just can’t understand how Lou signed Barzal without JB going on LTIR? The guy is a magician!

Now if everyone can stfu about Lou it would be great

It's a good deal. 6 would have been better but no complaints on 3. Let's get that JGP Bellows Wahlstrom line going. JGP can really help these young players and should take some pressure off them.

Where are all the dumb (frank)s that have commenting in these threads the last month or so now?

Do not think this one qualifies or a 6 year deal for Barzal would have.

Lou was trying to free up more cap space to give him a long term deal but couldn’t get it done and they Settled at the 3 year deal. Awesome !

They wanted 6 years but the cap space wasn't there but that tells you he wants to be here and that's huge and also what pulock said when he signed his deal
